What do you believe in? Light? Happiness? Joy? Being there for others? Taking responsibility for your actions? Things you know God wants you to be. Generally it’s easy to know because they require more effort than the things you’d want for yourself.
As for others, you have zero control over their actions; and that’s as it ought to be. And then, every once in a blue moon, you get outright blindsided by something.
You gave the Celt and her daughter a place to stay. Wasn’t easy, but you were happy to help. You’ve needed help before and others helped you, and she didn’t have anywhere realistically to go. There’s places she could stay, but nowhere she could actually live until she got her situation together.
And now, she’s pregnant. Out of nowhere. Not yours, of course. Married businessman she once had a relationship with long ago, rekindled out of nowhere ironically not long after your own Flame found you. Infidelity would cost him everything. Apparently he’s just off the hook.
And now…..that……. question.
She has no job. No more savings. No home of her own. She’s not in the right place in any way. The father can’t do anything to help without endangering his livelihood and family. She’s already struggling to take care of her seven-year-old daughter. The only friends and family she has… are likely thinking along the same processes.
You might be the only Voice she knows to advocate for that young life.
And if she chooses life, you’d be insane to think you would not be volunteering for some semblance of responsibility.
You’re not even romantically inclined with her. It’s not your kid. It’s none of your business. You were just trying to be nice and help out a friend by giving her a place to stay until she got back into work. Even her first daughter she had as part of a “coparenting” deal, not a marriage.
That became giving a place to her daughter too. Now this? With everything else in your life that’s going on now?
Crow would think you’re crazy. But this is who you are and what you stand for. You don’t know what to do. You’re not even certain how much of this is actually going to affect you. But you care for others.
Best case? She gets a job quick and is able to pay rent until she gets her own place quick as she can.
Worst case? You actually finally get to be sort of a father. Something you have wanted your whole life.
This is who you are and what that means.
But for your own sake… ensuring your legal protection is in order.
After that… let’s see what life is going to throw at you next…
Fork.
Whatever.
Bring whatever you got. 2019 is the forking time… 😊
